During this time he was also involved in organising neo-Nazi cadres and played a leading role in the establishment of the NSDAP/AO. Alongside this he continued to play a leading role in the VSBD until it was outlawed in 1982 following a shooting incident. Busse then became associated with the Free German Workers' Party (FAP), becoming leader of the party in 1989 when Michael Kühnen was forced from that position due to his homosexuality.
